A central focus of each class is to help your student: “Learn how to learn” and remember those facts and names that seem to be overwhelming. It is all about making science understandable! Memorization may work on the short term to get that “A” on an exam, but memorization with understanding will last a lifetime!

Tina O: My daughter just started taking your high school biology class. The required items list for class says she needs the biology lab notes for a fee of $15. I cannot find where these notes are available for purchase. Can you please help me with this? Thank you so much.
Hi Tina; I will check with Tina at Luma Learn and see where best to access them. Thanks so much for question. If we have some delay in response, send me your email, and I will send you both a students copy and a parents copy ( with Answers). Blessings :}
Laura H: I have twin daughters who are ready for this course. Are there any discounts that would help in my situation? Thank you, Laura
Hi Laura
Thanks for the inquiry
Any potential discounts would have to be run through Luma Learn as they handle the finances.
Potentially we could look at this.
Please recognize these prices are already reduced by 50% from the original price of $400 per semester.
Our courses have all the bells and whistles.
Each video is fully illustrated Power point presentations
Each video is divided into specific topics from the entire class presentation. In other words if your child needs to see a portion a second time you can choice the topic versus the entire content of material presented for a given day.
All videos are available 24/7. The goal of a video could be to review the topic multiple times til there is mastery of any given subject.
Class notes are provided that can be filled in as the learner watches the videos. There are also the completed notes available to parents if a student misses some blanks and needs assistance.
Lab videos in addition to the class videos are available for Biology and Chemistry with their own set of notes to fill in.
Quizzes can be taken online and are automatically graded. A transcript will be sent to the parents once we are informed that all the quizzes have been completed.
Lab quizzes are also available for Biology and Chemistry both first and second semester.
Additional videos relating to the class content are also linked to the various topics for further interest.
Which course are you looking at?
I will let you know once I hear back from Luma Learn.

Lumalearn got back to me and stated they could make a discount coupon. We could do a 10% discount for both of your daughters. In addition, I believe Luma Learn is also offering a referral program discount that you may want to check out. Blessings Dr. Dan

Vicki M: Apologia Biology is changing to 3rd edition this year, will the course remain 2nd edition? Thank you.
Yes. The course is based upon the award winning 2nd edition. Textbooks with Solutions manual for 2nd ed. should be easily attainable and a lower price. The curriculum is excellent and truly college prep.
KELLI K: If I sign my son up for this course, will he need to take the Jay Wile tests in his Biology test book for me to give him a final grade? Or is this a complete class and I give him your grade to put on his high school transcript?
Hi Kelli:
Super question! Our course is designed to give you flexibility. I do provide weekly self graded quizzes covering 16 weeks of material per semester. Each week may have both the online class quiz and also a lab quiz.
When the student has completed these assignments, we tally up the scores and send you the final transcript for that semester. There are two semesters in the course.
Regarding the end of the chapter tests, I do recommend a student tries them (there is a Solutions manual that provides you with the answers). Those are there to reinforce the material. I have had homeschool moms (or dads) have their child complete those first before taking my quizzes.
For the student who really enjoys science, it is a great tool for reinforcement. For the student that struggles with science it could result in being \"too much\" work.
It is totally up to the individual family if the end of the chapter tests are taken. Probably less than half of all the families do both.
As a homeschool parent you have the option of using only the transcript I send to represent the semester grade. Other families have averaged the online grade with the end of the chapter test grades. And I have even had some that only use the end of the chapter grade for the course grade.
Do what works best for your child. I hope you see what I\'m sharing: Our course is designed to give you flexibility.
Thank you for interest. May the Lord keep you and your family in His precious care.

Angel B: Hello. I'm wondering if there is a recommended schedule that would give me an idea of the pace.
Hi Angel:
Great question.
Locally ( vs online) we cover 1/2 of a Chapter per week. Since there are 16 Chapters (Apologia calls them modules) in the entire book, this translates to a Course that cover 32 weeks for the entire year (Sem 1 and Sem 2). This seems to work out well for nearly all students. However the beauty of a self paced course is that a learner can go over the material at whatever pace suites their needs. Biology Sem 1 online covering 16 weeks of material is available via Luma Learn for 25 weeks, with the option to extend that time if needed. This is also true for Sem. 2.
Hope this helps! Please feel free to ask any additional questions.
